Proactive Check: Suffern Police Search for Card Skimmers Across Local Businesses

The Suffern Police Department Detective Bureau, in partnership with the Rockland County Intelligence Center, recently conducted a proactive sweep of 35 local businesses to check for ATM and credit card skimming devices. We are pleased to report that no devices were detected.

Skimming devices are illegal tools used by criminals to capture card information during legitimate transactions, often without the victim’s knowledge. This stolen data can then be used to commit fraud or identity theft.

Proactive detection efforts like this help safeguard our community by preventing financial crimes before they occur, protecting both residents and local businesses. The Suffern Police Department remains committed to staying ahead of emerging threats and ensuring the security of our community.
